So!

I got into a show!

Yay!

I will be playing Shelley Keats, daughter of the main character in a staged reading of an original show Tennyson Anyone? at the Studio Players in Montclair. I'm so psyched! This is so cool! LHS Theater seems so far in the past it's laughable. I'm on cloud nine!

Besides that awesomeness, today also marks the death of my innocence - I saw, on wikipedia, a bona fide act of vandalism. Apparently, Robert Hooke, esteemed perpetuator of the Scientific Revolution in England, LOVED THE COCK. Apparently.

I wouldn't be surprised if Robert Hooke DID love "the cock", though it certainly wouldn't be Isaac Newton's after his remark. Newton had published some results of Hooke's as his own without giving him due credit, so Hooke wrote him a public letter lambasting him for it. Newton then rote back, publicly, that if he has seen farther than others it is because he stood on the shoulders of giants.

Hooke, of course, was a midget.

Maybe that's why he loved it -- eye level. (: Speaking of Isaac Newton's, nobody else loved it, either, apparently. He died a virgin at 86, with his greatest accomplishment being the isolation of the British scientific community from that of the rest of Europe, along with some ghosts of departed quantities and many, many, many phlogistons a horrendously bad theory of light.
